        Love The Way You Want To!

        How a Flatworm can lead you to finding Happiness in Relationship

        by Maja Storch

        Love is blind – not just to a partner’s shortcomings and faults, but often to one’s own needs as well. How can personal needs be identified, while staying true to oneself, yet still showing empathy towards the partner? How can one tell if this is Mr. or Ms. Right? How compatible are thin and thick-skinned people? In this book, Maja Storch shows the reader how to find out what their own needs are, take them seriously, articulate them, and communicate them to those they love. There’s no doubt about it: a relationship is hard work. But with this self-help book it can be fun.   Target Group: Everyone interested in long-term, happy relationships

        Family histories of Irish emigrants in Britain, 1820–1920

        by John Herson

        This book is unique in adopting a family history approach to Irish immigrants in nineteenth century Britain. It shows that the family was central to the migrants' lives and identities. The techniques of family and digital history are used for the first time to reveal the paths followed by a representative body of Irish immigrant families, using the town of Stafford in the West Midlands as a case study. The book contains vital evidence about the lives of ordinary families. In the long term many intermarried with the local population, but others moved away and some simply died out. The book investigates what forces determined the paths they followed and why their ultimate fates were so varied. A fascinating picture is revealed of family life and gender relations in nineteenth-century England which will appeal to scholars of Irish history, social history, genealogy and the history of the family. ;

        Bean Trellis, My Mother-in-law

        by Ma Ruifang

        As the Chinese saying goes, "mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law are natural enemies". However, Bean Trellis, My Mother-in-law depicts the close bond of the author as daughter-in-law with her mother-in-law for more than three decades. Wherein lies the secret?   "仁" Benevolence, "义" righteousness, "礼" courtesy, "智" wisdom, and "信" faith are constant beliefs of the Chinese people, which in the author's eyes are also the most admirable qualities of her mother-in-law, who is illiterate, yet hardworking, kind, and full of the wisdom of simple life. Her kindness and generosity is just the secret to the well-being of the whole family.   Aside from describing the unique in-law relationship, this book also looks at the ups and downs of a big Chinese family from the 1970s to the 2020s. With humorous and documentary storytelling, the author wrote her life stories just like chatting with neighbors under the bean trellis. It is all-encompassing, containing traditional Chinese wisdom about getting along with the world, educating children, and even cooking, which could provide new reading experiences and inspiration for all readers.

        Politicising and gendering care for older people

        Multidisciplinary perspectives from Europe

        by Anca Dohotariu, Ana Paula Gil, Lubica Volanská

        This book offers a new critical framework for understanding the processes of politicising and gendering care for older people and their manifestations in several European contexts. It interrogates how care for older adults varies across time and place while searching for an in-depth comprehension of how it becomes an arena of political struggle and the object of public policy in different countries and at various societal and political levels. It brings together multidisciplinary contributions that examine the issue of care for older people as a political concern from many angles, such as problematising care needs, long-term care policies, home care services, institutional services and family care. The contributions reveal the diversity of situations in which the processes of politicising and gendering care for older adults overlap, contradict or reinforce each other while leading to increased gender (in)equalities on different levels.

This is creating great changes in consciousness on Earth and it also means that we humans finally have the opportunity to join together with our spirit mate. In this book the co-authors and spirit mate couple Anni and Carsten Sennov describe with love and insight the different paths and circumstances that can lead you to your spirit mate.

        Empowering Parents. The Dialogical Approach in Seminars and Counselling. A guide for practice

        Ein Leitfaden für die Praxis

        by Johannes Schopp

        The "Dialogical Concept", initially conceived for parent education, was published for the first time in 2005. The power that has developed from it has a noticeable effect on the neighbouring fields of society. The author's central idea is that the system in which relationships and education, health and the development of potential are struggled for, needs a culture of dialogue instead of one of judgement and instruction. A culture that enables adults to meet each other and adults and children to meet each other with equal dignity, to appreciate and respect each other unconditionally. A culture that understands education as personality development.Thanks to his wealth of experience, Schopp illustrates how courage, well-being, curiosity, allowed failure, outgrowth and confidence thrive in a dialogical atmosphere. In this way, all participants could (re)find the necessary access to themselves and develop new confidence in their own abilities, in other people and in the world. Pedagogues, teachers, educators, doctors, mothers, fathers, consultants, lawyers, coaches and trainers, all those who work with people will find in this guide the encouragement and feasibility of a dialogical culture of living and learning.
